Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 166
Qin Zhao and Duke Zhongwu were very familiar with each other. As soon as the servant at the gate saw the names of Luo Ning and Qin Zhao, he hurried inside to inform them. After a while, Duke Zhongwu came out in person.

At this time, Duke Zhongwu learned that Wu Bo had been autopsyed. When he saw Luo Ning, his hands were shaking with anger:
"What are you doing here? I don't welcome you here!"

When Qin Zhao heard this, his face turned cold:
"Mr. Wu, there is something fishy about Wu Bo's death. If Mr. Luo hadn't fought against all the opinions, I'm afraid you would never know the cause of Wu Bo's death!"

"Qin Zhao, I watched you grow up, what do you mean by this?"

Duke Zhongwu raised his eyebrows and asked sharply.

"Lord Luo and I are about to get married, and she is also the one who is dear to my heart, Qin Zhao. I will not allow anyone to make false accusations about her!"

At this moment, Qin Zhao changed his face and refused to give in at all.

Luo Ning has known Qin Zhao for so long, and this is the first time he has seen him lose his temper.

Luo Ning held Qin Zhao's hand, turned to Duke Zhongwu and said:

"Your Excellency, I only concluded the case based on the facts of the case. Wu Bo's death seems simple. If it weren't for the autopsy, we would never know that he died of poisoning!"

"What did you say?"

Duke Zhongwu stared in shock.

Luo Ning raised his voice and reiterated:
"Wu Bo died of poisoning, so Mr. Qin and I came to visit the Duke of Guo, and I hope that the Duke of Guo will cooperate!"

Duke Zhongwu was indeed frightened and felt embarrassed at this moment:
"This……"

"My lord, your mood is understandable, but cases are often not what we see. If Wu Bo died of poisoning, you would want to catch the real culprit as soon as possible and give Wu Bo an explanation. "

"what happened?"

This time Zhongwu Gong lowered his voice and began to change his attitude, letting Luo Ning and Qin Zhao into the living room.

"How is Wu Bo's temperament on weekdays?" Luo Ning asked.

"It's a worry!"

Lord Zhongwu whispered.

"What do you like to do? Do you have any enemies?"

"Enemy? I idle around all day and don't know where to offend or make anyone feel grudge!"

"Do you know who Wu Bo is close to on weekdays?"

"All the official disciples in Anyang City are familiar with him. There are many people coming to see him all day long. How come they are so close? You also have to ask the servants around him. Now they are all arrested and taken to Jingzhao Mansion!"

"Is Wu Bo's food, clothing and pocket money sufficient?"

"That's a prodigal son. He spends his money like water. Forty percent of the income from the Duke's shop and farm is given to him!"

As he spoke, Duke Zhongwu shook his head and sighed:

"Who knew I would raise such an incompetent person! Now he's gone!"

Lord Zhongwu finally couldn't hold it in any longer, he lowered his head and cried!
"Yesterday, when did Wu Bo leave the house? Does the Duke still remember?"

"I left early. I won't come back if I haven't played all day long, so I don't bother to pay attention to him!"

It seems that Wu Bo was not killed in the mansion!
"Does Wu Bo have brothers and sisters?"

"There are eight inside and outside!"

Oh My God!Luo Ning sighed.

"Can I meet them?"

Zhongwu Gong sent someone to call, and soon seven children came in.

Duke Zhongwu said: "The youngest one is still in his infancy!"

Luo Ning saw that there were four girls and three boys:
"How old are you?"

"The oldest of these children is 16 years old, and they are getting younger and younger, and the youngest is three years old."

Luo Ning excluded those under six years old, leaving only two boys and two girls.

The two boys looked older. Luo Ning asked them:
"How is your relationship with Wu Bo?"

The oldest one looks honest and loyal:

"Brother doesn't like to study and doesn't move around much!" He looked solemn.

The second one, who was ten years old, also answered honestly: "My brother likes friends outside and never plays with me!"

When it was the turn of the two girls, they were extremely nervous. They were young, and Luo Ning also ruled out the possibility of poisoning.

Finally, Luo Ning asked:
"I heard that the Duke's mansion is going to marry the Wailang family, a member of the Ministry of Rites?"

Lord Zhongwu nodded and sighed:
"It is indeed intentional, but now that I am gone, there is no need to mention it again."

"Is Wu Bo satisfied with the marriage?"

"I didn't see much joy, I just said Miss Qi's beauty is beautiful!"

Luo Ning sighed, luckily the marriage didn't work out!Otherwise Qi Fangfang will suffer for the rest of her life.

"Then let's stop here. If there are any clues from the Duke's side, just send the servant to Dali Temple to tell me. We will leave now!"

After Luo Ning finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Zhongwu.

Back at Dali Temple, all the officials had returned and it was time to summarize the case.

Yao Sizhi reported:
"Sir, I went to the more prosperous taverns and teahouses in Anyang City. Wu Bo is a well-known rich man. Everyone who doesn't know him knows him. The general evaluation of him is that he is a dandy!"

"It's similar to what I found at the Duke's Mansion. Even his brothers and sisters don't like him!" Luo Ning said, looking at Zhuer and asking:

"Zhu'er, how are you and Meng Si's investigation going?"

"Yesterday, there were many people onlookers, basically consistent with Luo Hong's description. It was Wu Bo who started the dispute. Luo Hong endured it for a while before making a move, but he was quickly stopped by the Wu family servant!"

"Is anyone paying attention to Wu Bo's situation?"

"Several people who were relatively close said that he suddenly fell to the ground and was bleeding from all his orifices!"

"So, it is also consistent with Dong Wuzuo's judgment. Luo Hong just hit him with a stick and injured his arm. It will not cause Wu Bo's Qiqiao to bleed at all."

Finally, Wei Sizhi brought Wu Bo's three young men up. The three of them were in a panic. After Wu Bo died, they were all extremely frightened.

When Luo Ning saw them, he was not very old. He followed Wu Bo all day long to eat and drink, fighting against others.

Now that Wu Bo is gone, they have no backbone, and they are all trembling with fear at this time!

"Wu Bo is dead, what do you have to say?"

Luo Ning asked sharply, and the three of them lowered their heads and trembled.

"Who can be sure that Luo Hong killed Wu Bo? Come forward and tell us!"

None of the three moved.

"Whoever is not sure that Luo Hong killed Wu Bo should raise his hands!"

All three raised their hands high.

"Why didn't you tell the truth yesterday?"

"The master came to the prison to see us. If he wants to catch Luo Hong and avenge the young master, let us say that it was Luo Hong who beat the young master to death."

"Actually, it was very chaotic at the time. The three of us were beating Luo Hong, and we were not sure whether he was the one who beat the young master!"

"It seems that Luo Hong didn't hit the young master a few times, but the young master kicked Luo Hong, and then suddenly fell to the ground!"

Only then did the three people tell the truth, which was consistent with what Luo Hong said. This time, Luo Hong was completely cleared of suspicion.

"Then let's talk about Wu Bo's itinerary yesterday!"

A boy spoke first:
"After coming out of the mansion, I met Mr. Zhang. The two of them went to the teahouse to listen to books and spend a while!"

"What time is this?"

"The hour."

"Then go to Cuixianglou for lunch."

"How long will it last?"

"At the end of noon."

"Who is there?"

"It's still with Mr. Zhang!"

"After dinner, I went to Baihualou to listen to the music. I was accompanied by a girl named Xiaomei. I stayed for a while!"

"When?"

"It's about time."

"Finally, I went to Mr. Ma Rui's house in Qingyun Village!"

"What time is this?"

"You hour."

"Before you fight?"

"Yes!"
